Recurring Characters

In Recurring Characters, Evan Chelsee guides readers through the emotional labyrinth of one year in Los Angeles-a year filled with longing, missed connections, and self-reflection. Through a collection of poetry and fragmented storytelling, this chapbook unravels the complexity of desire, self-worth, and the need for connection. Using playlists, text messages, flowcharts and more, Evan's work captures the fleeting nature of relationships and the way we anchor ourselves to people, places, and moments. Each poem invites readers to experience the chaos, confusion, and yearning of being 21 and full of feelings.
